AI power orchestration for data centers and the electric grid
Utilidata builds AI-driven power orchestration for data centers and utility grids, pairing embedded hardware with an inference platform. Its stack spans FPGA, Verilog, RTOS and CUDA alongside vLLM, SGLang and TensorRT, a rare mix of firmware and LLM-serving depth. Hiring is accelerating and heavily senior-engineering, aimed at moving Karman hardware through EVT/DVT/PVT into mass production.
Notable leadership hires: Marketing Lead
Utilidata is a privately held energy technology company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with 51–200 employees. Its Karman platform uses AI, high-resolution metering and low-latency control to manage power flow in data centers and on the electric distribution grid. The company works with NVIDIA on a compact computing module that is embedded in electrical devices and smart meters. It serves data center operators looking to get more compute out of existing power capacity, as well as utilities managing grid operations. Hiring is focused in the United States.
Utilidata uses NVIDIA, CUDA, vLLM, SGLang, Triton and TensorRT for AI inference, Kubernetes, Terraform and Datadog for infrastructure, and FPGA, Verilog, RTOS and C++ for embedded hardware.
Yes. Hiring is accelerating and centered on senior engineering roles in the United States, with smaller openings in data and marketing, including a Marketing Lead.
Utilidata is developing Karman platform algorithms, building an AI inference and model serving platform, collecting precision telemetry, and running a manufacturing readiness program for its hardware.
